Hi, Aclarke!

On behalf of the Wikipedia Education Program, I wanted to thank you for taking the orientation. It's really helpful for us to know that you'd like to see more writing samples, so we can make it more useful for other students like you. I hope you'll feel free to refer back to the orientation while you're making your first edits, and please don't hesitate to reach out to your Ambassador for any help or advice. Welcome to Wikipedia, and I hope you enjoy your unique assignment! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 21:21, 24 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!

Wiki Assignments

Wiki # 3 http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Interracial_adoption#Ethnocentric_bias

Wiki # 4 In the study of interracial adoption, there are recent studies that have been applied to the process of adopting a child, and whether race places an issue on the child's development.

Wiki # 5 Perry, S. L. (2011). Contact, Congregations, and Children of Color: The Effects of Interracial Contact in Religious Settings on Whites' Attitudes towards Transracial Adoption. Journal Of Comparative Family Studies, 42(6), 851-869.

Wiki #6 I plan adding to the article on interracial adoption, with a particular emphasis on ethnocentric bias.

Hey Aclarke24, it looks like you have been doing a great job adding information! Thank you for helping to add to the community. My only suggestion is that you continue to make small edits in the way your word your sentences to make them sound as unbiased as possible. Missdublove (talk) 18:44, 29 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
